...my family is my society

The challenge with sycophancy is that it has no limit.

Reason you see highly educated and accomplished folks dancing naked in public for certified idiots.

In today's @THISDAYLIVE , I submit that keeping El-Rufai in detention for about 150 days, under different guises including excessive bail terms, is wrong and untenable. 👇🏽

Wahala no de finish!!

“My general assessment is that government is totally unprepared to conduct the economic reform policies they put on line. The key measures they took - the fuel subsidy removal, floating of the Naira had very severe impact on the value of our currency and on the income of every Nigerians and the net effect is a dramatic decline in the income and survival of Nigerians that brought massive suffering. They did not plan palliatives to address the suffering of majority of Nigerians. At the end of the day, my sense is that this government has been a failure. What he has planned to deliver, he has failed. As the elections are approaching, I think it’s time we have to clearly show this government that failure cannot be rewarded”

You people will respect me by force.

@TonamiPlayman Your chart highlights a “point”, my post highlights a harbor, and that the harbor has the average deepest shoreline fit enough for larger vessels without the need recurringly dredge. That’s the business case for non-transshipment deep seaports.

Two distinctively differing points

[Geekay @gkbalogs]

At peak, So Fresh had a fleet of over 30 delivery bikes... they were my biggest headache ever.

Then one day, I realized I had inadvertently entered the logistics business, something I/we neither had the interest nor the competence to manage.

So, 4 years ago, we sold all our bikes to a third-party logistics company. Eventually, Chowdeck came on board, and I have never been happier.

The business is also much better for it.

So yes, Mark is spot on!

There’s no way you doubled down on your initial statement.
You are comparing a democratic election to Arsenal v Chelsea?

We really do platform a lot of “” people sha.

This 15-year-old boy, Bassey Stephen Etim, won today's Sterling Bank Online National Mathematics Quiz.

He is currently an SS2 student at Dority International Secondary School, Aba, Abia State.

He outperformed every other student who participated from across the country.

Another star has been discovered.

In a democratic society, opposition aren’t your enemies.

@markessien @basilabia @TonamiPlayman Calabar, Warri, and Sapele experience heavy siltation and often require frequent maintenance dredging because of their riverine locations.

Lagos ports (Apapa and Tin Can Island) also require regular maintenance dredging to keep their channels navigable.

[Rotham 🔥 @Rothamhouse]

Anyone who is using dredging as an excuse for not developing a port anywhere in Nigeria is just playing the usual Nigeria political game 🙄

The Ibaka community issue is just another smokescreen.

Community dispute has not stopped the development of any infrastructure FG really want to develop.

[Basil @basilabia]

The deepest naturally occurring harbor in Nigeria without the need for dredging or off-shore transshipment from Large Panamax & Ultra-Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) to smaller vessels is the Ibaka Bay.

Nigeria has spent nearly 70 years of its existence without developing it.

"We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations. This church is today in 144 nations. So, endeavour to secure your permanent voter cards (PVC). You are men and women of the spirit. By your own personal conviction, you should know where to cast your vote. We are not passersby in our nation. We are bona fide citizens of the nation, and we have a right to participate in who governs us." — David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of Living Faith Church

The extent to which the BBC and other UK media outlets pick and choose winners in their foreign policy coverage is extraordinary and deeply worrying. Compare the coverage of the Georgian post-election riots to the Albanian flamingo revolution (now in its 41st day). Our media, far from attempting -- through muckraking, investigation and parsing complex issues -- to give the engaged citizen a glimpse of the objective truth, have become mouthpieces of the establishment.

If the foreign policy establishment disapproves of a foreign government, then protests against it will be covered and amplified in the UK media. This, to some degree, will lead to a delegitimisation of that government in the eyes of the British public, paving the way for the UK government to impose punitive measures, from sanctions to coup attempts and war, against it.

Governments of which we approve, on the other hand, can get away with all kinds of oppression and brutality and corruption (see Moldova, Ukraine and now Hungary), and the media will barely cover it, or in fact help frame said oppression and brutality as effective and necessary steps to protect that government against nefarious actors.

I always find it extraordinary how many people who in other areas of life are admirably questioning and heterodox actually fall of this stuff when it comes to foreign policy -- from serious thinkers whom I admire to ordinary posters on X.

More importantly, though, I do not know why the media (both print and broadcast) have fallen into this way of doing things, but it is to their great shame -- and, ultimately, detriment, given it cuts right across the raison d'etre and sine qua non of an independent media.

@afalli Thank you 😊

[Grok @grok]

This is TheDecimalZero promoting his "Electron Flow Model," an alternative theory claiming E=mc² is incomplete. He argues the universe is a pressurized fluid where mass is a vortex, and energy release involves two speeds: normal light speed (transverse) plus a faster "superluminal acoustic" longitudinal speed, giving E = m(c_T² + c_L²).

Mainstream physics rejects this. Special relativity and quantum field theory treat the vacuum differently, with c as the causal speed limit—backed by extensive experiments. No evidence supports superluminal energy propagation or a classical fluid vacuum here. It's an unverified personal hypothesis.

[Rotham 🔥 @Rothamhouse]

@afalli Yes, i agree on the consensus part.
